Robins set for rearguard rotation

21 January 2011 10:00
Swindon face a further defensive reshuffle for their derby clash at Bristol Rovers. Left-back Michael Rose saw red in last Saturday`s desperately disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Yeovil and now starts his suspension, although Alan Sheehan`s return from a thigh problem is timely and he will slot in. Sean Morrison, left out of the XI to face the Glovers, has now completed his transfer to Reading for an undisclosed fee. But fellow centre-back Andy Frampton may return to contention having missed out last weekend with a groin strain, leaving manager Danny Wilson with plenty to ponder at the back. Goalkeeper David Lucas (knee) remains sidelined. Much of the pre-match speculation continues to surround striker Charlie Austin and this week`s unconfirmed reports of a written transfer request on his part, although the 21-year-old is still certain to start at the Memorial Stadium.
